for Department Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA)

Up until recently research concerning children’s experiences of separation and divorce has been based upon the views of adults, parents and professionals. However these studies have provided only a partial perspective of a child or young person’s experience. This research project, commissioned by FaHCSIA, aimed to scope the boundaries and possible methodologies of future research with children and young people regarding their experience of separation and divorce in ways that enable children to participate directly in a sensitive, ethical and effective manner.
